Dream symbol · F
Flood
An expression of uncontrollable emotions that go beyond the limits of your daily life.
Dream interpretation
A flood symbolizes an 'overflow' of psychic energy that the ego can no longer contain. This is an archetypal image of catharsis. If water invades your home, it touches the most intimate aspects of your security, suggesting family conflicts or inner chaos. However, if you observe the flood from above, you are in a process of emotional growth and observation over your problems. Sometimes this is a sign of a need for a complete cleansing of the old.
